About this role
Help deliver the precision and performance of our Formula One car. At Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, every millisecond matters. We’re looking for a Senior Control Systems Engineer to develop and optimise the advanced control systems that deliver exceptional performance, reliability and consistency on track. Combining embedded software development, control theory, modelling and hands-on testing, you’ll oversee control systems development from simulation through to the HIL, test cell, powertrain dyno and track.
You’ll also contribute to the wider electronic control systems that underpin car performance, working closely with colleagues across Control Systems, Transmission & Driveline and Trackside Support to turn complex engineering challenges into competitive advantage. This is an opportunity to apply specialist Formula One expertise to technically demanding projects where precision, innovation and performance make the difference.
- Develop and maintain embedded software for F1 SECU applications, including transmission control, torque arbitration, brake-by-wire and power unit interfaces.
- Development and optimisation of seamless shift gearbox control strategies and ECU calibrations across SIL, HIL, gearbox test cell, powertrain dyno and track environments.
- Develop powertrain and plant models, alongside HIL simulations, to improve control strategy development, calibration and systems testing.
- Analyse test results, telemetry and high-speed data to identify issues, optimise shift performance and improve gearbox and powertrain reliability.
- Develop and optimise wider vehicle control systems, including differential, clutch control, brake-by-wire and associated electronic systems.
- Own control systems projects from specification and implementation through to testing, validation, delivery and ongoing maintenance.
- Develop software tools for system configuration, calibration, monitoring, data analysis and performance optimisation, while contributing to coding standards and engineering methodologies.
- Collaborate across engineering teams, providing technical support and expertise at the factory and, where required, during test and race events.
